Funding profile
Eugene Simon Vindman
Democrat · Representative for Virginia’s 7th district
Career totals · 2 elections · 2024–2026
$30.5 million
raised by Vindman’s campaigns, everything from 2024 to 2026 added together.
4%
of it came from organized groups rather than from people giving on their own: at least $1.2 million from PACs.
$6.2 million
was spent about Vindman by outside groups. These are ads for or against them that their campaign cannot control, and none of it is part of the money above.
Every number on this page comes from Federal Election Commission filings, read on August 24, 2026. An election still under way keeps raising money, so its figure will have grown since. Check Vindman on FEC.gov

Which industries

The FEC records that a committee is a corporation; it does not record its industry. Those labels are ours, kept in a published list anyone can check. Where we have not labeled a giver we say “Other” rather than guessing.

“Unclassified” means the FEC records no organization type for that committee, which usually means a leadership PAC. We show it as unclassified rather than guessing which industry it belongs to.
Their money and their votes, side by side
For each industry that gave to Vindman: the money, then the bills they voted on in that industry’s area of law. The Library of Congress assigns each bill’s subject, not us, so nothing here is picked to make a point.
This is not evidence that money bought a vote. People often donate to politicians who already agree with them. We show what was given and how Vindman voted; the judgment is yours.

We do not score these or say which way a vote favored an industry, because that would be our opinion dressed up as a finding. Each bill links to the chamber’s own roll-call record. Industries where fewer than three bills came to a vote are left out, because a handful of votes cannot show a pattern.
Money spent about this member
Outside groups, usually super PACs, may spend without limit on ads for or against a candidate, as long as they do not coordinate with the campaign. Vindman has no legal control over any of it.
This is not a donation. Nobody gave this money to Vindman. It was spent on advertising about Vindman, and money spent against a candidate is plainly not funding them. So it never gets added to the figures above.
$6.2 million
has been spent for or against Vindman by outside groups. $2.3 million supported Vindman; $3.9 million opposed Vindman.
Largest outside spenders
Summed across 2 elections, using the Commission's aggregated totals so amended filings and 24-hour notices are not double-counted.

Election by election
The career figures above are the sum of these elections. Each row links to the Commission’s page for that election, where the numbers match line for line.
| Election | Raised | From PACs | Outside spending | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026in progress | $12.4 million | $818,000 7% | $91,000 | FEC |
| 2024 | $18.1 million | $394,000 2% | $6.1 million | FEC |
Raised is everything the campaign took in for that election. From PACs is the slice of it given by political action committees. Outside spending is what other groups spent on ads about the race, for and against—it is not part of “Raised”. An election marked in progress is still raising money, so its figures are not final.
We never publish the names of individual donors, and anything we cannot source stays off the page. The methodology explains every such choice.
